Chapter 17

Author: Lil' Lamp
Roxanne did not believe him. To Andre, that was a devastating blow.

Yet he also knew that it was he who had worn down her trust in him. He had no one to blame but himself.

He had rehearsed this outcome in his mind countless times. It was still within the realm of what he could bear. He took a deep breath, and his tone only grew more resolute. "I'll prove everything I said is true, Roxy. Just give me one more chance, please?"

The car had already pulled into the underground garage and come to a halt. Roxanne unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door, and spoke with the weary indifference.

"Just file the divorce. You can prove whatever you want after that."

With that, she no longer cared how he reacted. She simply walked straight toward the elevator.

The conversation had gone full circle, landing once more on the topic of divorce. Andre finally understood that she had made up her mind.

His fists clenched tightly at his sides, veins bulging along his forearms. Yet he could find no rel

  • Seek for Her   Chapter 19

    The corners of Roxanne's smiling lips twitched slightly. She did seem to have said that.Yet heaven knew that she only said it to push Andre into agreeing to the divorce sooner. She had never actually intended to have a deep conversation with him.Who in their right mind would want to sit and have an awkward heart-to-heart with their ex-husband after the divorce? Was it not more appropriate to grab drinks with friends and celebrate her new life?Although she had always been someone who kept her word, she did not want to ruin such a wonderful moment, so she came up with an excuse."I did say that, but I never said we had to talk right now, did I? Next time. We can talk when I have time."Andre did not let go of her wrist."After what happened last time, when you tricked me into signing the divorce agreement and disappeared without a word, it's really hard for me to trust anything you say now. You even changed all your contact information. If you leave today and vanish again, where

    It took Roxanne only ten minutes to gather all the necessary documents. She cross-checked them carefully against the information she had collected.Once she had confirmed everything was in order, she walked out holding the folder and squinted slightly when she saw Andre collapsed by the doorway.What performance was this supposed to be now? Was he planning to fake an illness now, just to delay the divorce?As she walked up to him, her guard immediately went up. Her tone carried clear suspicion. "Not feeling well?"It was not a question of concern—it was an accusation.Andre could easily tell the difference. He shook his head, pushed himself upright with one hand against the doorframe, and forced a faint smile. "I'm fine. Let us go."Only when she saw him open the door did Roxanne lower her guard slightly and follow behind him.On the way back to the courthouse, neither of them said another word.Roxanne kept checking her watch, mentally calculating the time. The moment they got

    Just as they reached a traffic light, Andre brought the car to a stop and turned toward Roxanne, his gaze heavy and unreadable."I'm not unhappy with anything. If you're set on divorcing me, I'm willing to leave with nothing. I never intended to threaten you. I just have too many unanswered questions. I'm just unwilling to end it like this." The word 'unwilling' caught Roxanne off guard, and a flicker of surprise crossed her face."What exactly are you unwilling about? That we got divorced without you knowing? Or that I beat you to asking for divorce?""Neither, Roxy."Seeing the confusion on her face, Andre gave a bitter laugh. His low voice carried an emotion too tangled to name—part regret, part helplessness."I'm unwilling to be misunderstood by you. I'm unsatisfied that you wouldn't even give me a chance. I'm unwilling to draw a final line between us like this."This time, it was Roxanne who fell silent. She did not quite understand what he meant by all this.Was he not t

  • Seek for Her   Chapter 15

    After learning from Nathaniel that Roxanne had returned to Newham, Andre immediately tried to arrange a meeting but was flatly rejected. He felt a pang of disappointment, but there was nothing he could do. All he could do was silently wait for her to come to him.During that time, he read through the divorce agreement and the property division document countless times, line by line. He even purchased numerous items to match the old apartment layout down to the smallest detail.Clinging to a sliver of hope that Roxanne might forgive him, he tried to restore their shared space to exactly how it used to be—as if that could somehow bring everything back to normal.Days passed, one after another. At the end of September, he finally received a phone call from Nathaniel.Roxanne had agreed to meet him, but the meeting place was in front of the courthouse. All of Andre's anticipation collapsed in an instant. Still, he showed up—empty-handed.Seeing him arrive without even the bare minimum

  • Seek for Her   Chapter 14

    On the seventh day after Roxanne's departure, Andre had nearly reached his breaking point. With nothing behind him but a bottomless abyss and nowhere left to retreat, he finally became clear-headed.Although the divorce cooling-off period had ended, the legal process was not yet complete.Roxanne should come back to file the divorce at the courthouse with him together.Once he understood that, Andre—who had been in a state of despair for days—pulled himself together again. He applied to end his leave and returned to the law firm. The first thing he did was seek out Nathaniel.Over the past few days, Nathaniel had relayed countless messages on his behalf. Now, seeing Andre looking even more gaunt and hollow, he could not help but feel a bit sorry for him.He had just opened his mouth to offer a few words of comfort when Andre spoke first, his tone calm and composed."Mr. Shepherd, please tell her that I agree to the divorce. Ask her to come back and file the divorce at the courtho
